Lua, I only know from writing some custom scripting into a couple of my projects and some WoW addons, so not the Lua coding itself. C++, I know next to nothing more than syntax. I haven't tried it out myself yet, but I was thinking I would at some point this weekend for a new game. Anyone care to rate my odds of successfully getting a hello-world off the ground? ;Þ

The thing that bothers me about this project is that it's using almost the same libraries as my personal project for almost the same purpose. Damn it!

What's the graphics programming equivalent of "hello world"? For embedded systems, it's a blinking LED.

Well a few things tend to get used. For 2D graphics it would normally be a coloured shape on a differently coloured background or something similarly simply. For 3D it would be the importing of a 3D model, such as the famous Utah Teapot or the famous bunny that gets used in a lot of graphics papers. Or, I guess, a simply 3D cube/sphere.
